Gatwick Airport today warned passengers to stick to official car parks and approved operators, after a car parking firm closed down and failed to return vehicles to more than a hundred holidaymakers this week.

Police were called when Gatwick First Parking appeared to cease trading and left vehicles abandoned with their owners unable to retrieve them. Gatwick said it had since used its own number plate tracking system to help locate many of the missing cars.
